Travels With Stacey

I love art.  Especially art that is on exhibit in a free art gallery. But there have been times when I look at something and wonder how it is even called art. It is almost a waste of time and space to see what someone…

We are planning a big trip to Alaska where we will most of the time tenting instead of hoteling. Tents and campsites are much cheaper than a hotel, plus being in a campsite, out among the stars (and mosquitos) enhances the experience. Hotels are boring,…

Spencer Smith Park is conveniently located right off the highway.  It is a beautiful spot to see the lake, walk along the shore, and experience many events here. The Burlington Waterfront Sculpture Trail is one of those events, and it is in its second season…

Along the Hudson River are so many great places to explore and learn.  We were able to briefly touch this region on our return home from New York City.  Like so many mansions in this area, it was built to be far enough away from…
